Cielo Jan 09 2016 9:32 am I love this drama so much! Very dramatic to the point I cried over in some episodes (it was worth it). What really drove me in this show is the dynamic between the two main actor/actress portraying in their characters (hats off to Toyokawa-san because he totally made me struck down in his father role, as well as Mana-chan because of her natural acting skills).
The soundtrack is beautiful too. I wish I could listen to it all day (bitin ako sa samples).
ryan Apr 04 2015 8:57 am I hope there is a special episode
nonsibi Feb 13 2013 8:15 pm Wow... Ashida-san did her roles very well, she plays so naturally although she has a lot of conversation lines. Ganbatte Ashida-san !!
nonsibi Feb 10 2013 1:54 pm I love watching Japanese dramas. Ashida-san is a sweetheart, she will be a great actress..
John Dec 31 2012 8:02 am Very touching drama. The music even is wonderful. But, of course it is sad so have the tissue box ready for the tears. Highly recommended.
